WHO CAUSES IT?
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that belong to the Aphididae family. They reproduce rapidly through parthenogenesis, a process in which females give birth to live young without the need for mating. During warm seasons, females can produce multiple generations in a single summer. In the fall, some aphids produce eggs that can survive the low winter temperatures, ensuring the continuity of the species. These insects feed on plant sap, inserting their mouth stylets into the tissues and extracting nutrients. Aphids often excrete a sugary substance called honeydew, which can attract other insects such as ants and encourage the growth of sooty fungi.
SYMPTOMS
Aphid infestation on plants causes the disease known as aphids, which can seriously affect the health and development of plants.
- Appearance of small yellow Taches or discoloration on the leaves.
- Curling and deformation of the leaves.
- Stunted plant growth due to sap extraction.
- Presence of honeydew on plant surfaces, which can induce the appearance of black mold.
- Transmission of viruses between plants.
- Reduction in the general vitality of the plant.
- Loss of vigor and wilting in severe cases.
- Increase in the presence of ants attracted by the honeydew excreted by aphids.
